Broncos could have a few players return from injuries this week

Broncos CB Pat Surtain will be two weeks removed from his concussion when Denver hosts the Panthers in Week 8.

The Denver Broncos could get reinforcements on the injury front this week following their mini bye after playing on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.

The biggest name to watch will be cornerback Pat Surtain, who suffered a concussion against the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 13 and wasn’t cleared in time to play against the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 17.

The Broncos will be a full two weeks removed from when Surtain suffered the injury when they host the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 27 in Week 8, so the cornerback presumably has a good chance to return in time for that game.

Elsewhere on the injury front, right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) will be three weeks removed from his initial injury when the Broncos take on the Panthers. There’s no rush to get Palczewski back on the field because Mike McGlinchey is now healthy again, but Denver’s offensive line will get a nice depth boost when “Palco” is cleared to play again.

Next week, Broncos running back running back Tyler Badie (back) will be eligible to return from injury reserve, and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) can return in Week 10.

Going into Week 8, the Broncos have 5 players on injured reserve and 2 players on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.

Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) will be eligible to return in Week 9, and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) can return in Week 10.

Denver linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) have been eligible to return from the PUP list since Week 5, but they apparently still need more time to recover.

Broncos could have multiple players return from injured reserve this week

The bad news: Broncos have a short week. Good news: Denver has several players eligible to return from injured reserve ahead of TNF.

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime (ankle) returned from injured reserve last week and more reinforcements could be on the way this week.

The Broncos will have a short week ahead of a Thursday Night Football showdown with the New Orleans Saints, but the list of players eligible to return from IR ahead of Week 7 includes right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL), outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle).

If healthy, McGlinchey will immediately return to starting at right tackle. Mathis could be returning just in time to provide more depth at cornerback after star Pat Surtain suffered a concussion on Sunday.

Broncos linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) have been eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list since Week 5, but they might need more time to recover.

Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad after flurry of roster moves

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad following a flurry of roster moves this week.

The Denver Broncos made a flurry of roster moves this week, including seven changes to the practice squad.

First, the Broncos promoted inside linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to the active roster. To fill Bailey’s former spot, Denver signed wide receiver A.T. Perry.

The Broncos also signed offensive tackle Cam Fleming, center Dieter Eiselen and wide receiver Kaden Davis to the practice squad. To make room for those three players, Denver released running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Quinton Newsome and placed offensive tackle Will Sherman on the practice squad/injured list.

The 17-player practice squad and 53-man roster are now both full.

The NFL’s standard practice squad size limit is 16 players, but there’s an exception that allows an extra international player to not count against the limit. For Denver, Australian tight end Thomas Yassmin is an exception, giving the Broncos a 17-player practice squad.

So here’s the full list of 17 players on the squad after the recent moves.

Broncos 17-player practice squad

  1. WR Michael Bandy
  2. WR David Sills
  3. WR Kaden Davis
  4. WR A.T. Perry
  5. TE Donald Parham
  6. TE Thomas Yassmin
  7. OT Cam Fleming
  8. C Dieter Eiselen
  9. OL Nick Garguilo
  10. OL Calvin Throckmorton
  11. DT Jordan Miller
  12. DL Matt Henningsen
  13. OLB Andrew Farmer
  14. LB Kwon Alexander
  15. LB Zach Cunningham
  16. CB Reese Taylor
  17. DB Tanner McCalister

Two players can be elevated from the practice squad each week.

Broncos promote linebacker to 53-man roster

The Broncos promoted linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Tuesday.

The Denver Broncos promoted linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to their 53-man roster on Tuesday. Denver had an open spot available for Bailey on the active roster after placing running back Tyler Badie (back) on injured reserve last week.

Bailey (6-2, 225 pounds) signed with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State this spring. After the team lost Alex Singleton to a season-ending torn ACL, Bailey was elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster in each of the last two weeks.

Bailey has now been fully promoted to the 53-man roster. He played 14 snaps on special teams in Week 5 and 10 snaps on special teams in Week 4. Bailey will serve as Denver’s fourth inside linebacker behind starters Cody Barton and Justin Strnad and primary backup Kristian Welch.

Bailey, 23, will likely continue to contribute on special teams while providing depth on defense. The Broncos still have veteran linebackers Kwon Alexander and Zach Cunningham on their practice squad.

Broncos could get reinforcements from injured reserve this week

Broncos rookie RB Audric Estime (ankle) is eligible to return from injured reserve this week.

The Denver Broncos have won three straight games and they are trending up going into Sunday’s game showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. Before that matchup, the team could get reinforcements from injured reserve.

Broncos running back Audric Estime (ankle) is eligible to return from IR this week and the team has an open spot on the active roster after placing fellow running back Tyler Badie (back) on IR last week.

After saving a spot on the active roster, Denver seems likely to activate Estime this week to serve as the team’s third-string running back behind Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin.

After being inactive for the first four games of the season, Blake Watson made his NFL debut in Week 5 because Estime and Badie were both on IR. The Broncos’ staff didn’t seem to have much confidence in Watson, though, as he played just one snap on offense and one snap on special teams against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Watson will likely return to being a healthy scratch on game days once Estime returns to the 53-man roster, perhaps as early as this week.

Broncos now have 9 players on injured reserve or PUP list

Going into Week 5, the Broncos have seven players on injured reserve and two players on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.

The Denver Broncos have nine players on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list going into Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Seven of those players will be eligible to return later this season.

Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) was eligible to return from IR this week, and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) were eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 5. All three players apparently need more time to recover.

Denver running back Audric Estime (ankle) will be eligible to return next week, and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL) and outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) can return in Week 7.

After being placed on IR on Saturday, running back Tyler Badie (back) will be eligible to return in Week 9.

If he has recovered from his ankle injury, Estime will likely return to serving as the team’s No. 3 running back next week.

Broncos place RB Tyler Badie on injured reserve

The Broncos placed RB Tyler Badie (back) on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least four games.

The Denver Broncos have placed running back Tyler Badie (back) on injured reserve, the team announced Saturday. Badie must now sit out at least four games. The earliest the running back could return would be a Week 9 road game against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 3.

Badie (5-8, 197 pounds) suffered the back injury when he was hit from behind by linebacker Quincy Williams in the first quarter of last week’s 10-9 win over the New York Jets. After going to the sideline, Badie went down on the ground and was later placed onto a backboard, loaded into a cart and taken into the locker room.

Badie rushed 11 times for 86 yards and four first downs and hauled in three receptions on 21 snaps in three games before his injury. Before this season, Badie had one rush and a 24-yard touchdown catch with the Broncos in 2022 (he spent last season on the practice squad).

The Broncos have Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin as their top two backs and rookie Blake Watson is also on the active roster, but he was a healthy scratch for the first four games. Next week, fifth-round draft pick Audric Estime will be eligible to return from injured reserve.

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Broncos have not yet announced if Badie will be placed on injured reserve, but such a move could arrive on Saturday. If he does go on IR, Badie will have to sit out at least four games before being eligible to return.

With Badie sidelined, rookie Blake Watson is likely set to make his NFL debut against the Raiders behind Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin. Audric Estime (ankle) will be eligible to return from IR next week.

Elsewhere on the injury front, safety JL Skinner (ankle) has been cleared to play after missing the team’s last two games.
